No. He hasnt slowed down significantly at all. Coach Rick is trying to "slow down" Amir's technique so that he gains a feel for TIMING. To drop his weight and sit a little more and feel the counters and punches. If you watch all coach rick and amirs training, you will see how amir is having a little trouble just staying relaxed and timing the technique. You can tell he is used to "performing" at mitt sessions with roach to amaze the media with speed. He is tense and rushing. Coach rick is patient with amir and already knows amir is fast and that what he needs to start doing is picking off opponents and reading them. Speed falls short to timing, especially against mayweather.
